Uber Shuts Arizona Self-Driving Program Two Months After Fatal Crash

Uber has shut down its self-driving car operation in Arizona two months after a fatal crash involving one of its vehicles, the company said on Wednesday. Uber Technologies Inc [UBER.UL] is not shuttering its entire autonomous vehicle program and will focus on limited testing in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and two cities in California, a spokeswoman said. The ride-hailing company aims to resume self-driving operations this summer, likely with smaller routes and fewer cars, she said. “We’re committed to self-driving technology, and we look forward to returning to public roads in the near future,” the spokeswoman said.
